T-Mobile Confirms Hackers' Info is Legit

The information posted over the weekend by hackers who claimed to have hacked T-Mobile is legit, T-Mobile now says. But, it's not clear that the hackers have the full access to T-Mobile systems they claim.

On Saturday, hackers posted what appear to be logfiles taken from T-Mobile's networks to the Full Disclosure mailing list, claiming to have hacked the carrier "We have everything, their databases, confidential documents, scripts and programs from their servers, financial documents up to 2009." they wrote.

Earlier today T-Mobile said it was investigating the hack, but they've now updated their statement, saying that they've identified the file that was copied, but noting that the fact that the hackers got this file doesn't necessarily mean that they have "everything," as claimed.
